I am awkward to the point where it becomes comedic, and astonishingly ungraceful considering how much I enjoy acting and dancing. I am extremely talented at tripping over anything and everything. I am positive, at least I try to be, but I get grumpy when I haven't slept (Which is pretty much always). I am over dramatic, and usually bad at hiding my emotions. I am determined, or stubborn, depending on the perspective. I say determined, everybody else says stubborn. I don’t like admitting when I’m wrong, not that it happens that often. I am shy around strangers, but generally rather talkative when I get to know someone well. I am antisocial and uncomfortable in big crowds, preferring more intimate interactions, but at the same time I hate being alone. I always want to have someone I can talk to about whatever random thoughts come to my mind.. I am a theatre geek, I love going onstage and becoming another person for a few short hours, finding it to be an amazing escape from reality. I am a night owl; I often find myself unwilling to put down a book at night, even knowing I will end up exhausted the next day. I am smart, but incredibly disorganized. I am not patient, nor am I good at sitting still for long periods of time. I am constantly thinking, and I find it difficult to stay focused on any one thing; instead I'm always bouncing from topic to topic.
I like chocolate, books (actual tangible books, none of this ebook stuff), cats, not having English homework, and chocolate. I like going outside on a rainy day, and ending up completely soaked. I like spending time with my family, especially my grandparents up in Michigan over the summer. I like riding around on the golfcart with my friends, having no idea where we are going, and coming across something or someone interesting. I like learning things that I never knew before. I like food, I definitely like food. I like flowy dresses that poof out when I spin, I like when my friends play with my hair, I like when I end up laughing so hard I can hardly breathe. I like curling up in a warm fluffy blanket and reading my favorite book for the fiftieth time. I like being woken up at 3:00AM by a cat jumping onto my bed. I like eating ice-cream on a hot day, and drinking hot chocolate when it's cold. I like knowing that I have good friends who I can trust and who will stand beside me and help back up when I fall down. Because I fall. I fall a lot. I like performing in plays and musicals, and the sense of nervous excitement that fills the room when I'm waiting with my friends before an audition. I like the feeling of accomplishment when I figure out a tricky dance move or finally hit a high note without sounding like a dying animal. I like the sense of family that can always be found backstage between actors doing a show together, and I even like spending the endless hours backstage, just talking with some of the weirdest best friends I will ever find.
I believe that it is okay not to be perfect all the time, as long as you try your best. I believe that it is great to be a little bit strange. I believe that academics are no more important than the fine arts. I believe that laughter is the best medicine, and having friends who make you laugh can help any situation. I believe that having different beliefs should not affect how you treat a person. I believe in second chances, and that people always have room to grow and change for the better. Some people more than others. I believe in one true love, and that there will be one person for everyone who understands and accepts every aspect of them, both good and bad. I believe in miracles, and I believe that not everything has to make sense. Some of the best things are those left unexplained. I believe that sometimes all people need is someone to listen to them. I believe that hugs can make anything better. I believe in never ending smiles, and that we should spread joy wherever we can.
I am tired of hearing people being judged based off appearance, or not being accepted because of their beliefs. I am tired of hearing "sorry". The word means nothing without action to back it up. I am tired of hearing "I can't". You don't know that unless you try. I am tired of hearing promises that I know are never going to be kept. I always have to pretend I believe it will happen even though I know it won’t. Promises should only be made when that person is going to really try and follow through on them. I am tired of hearing people blame others for their mistakes, instead of asking for forgiveness or trying to remedy the problem themselves. I am sick of hearing rumors and gossip, and I hate the way that friendships can be torn apart over something that never actually happened.
I am in favor of sitting outside and reading all day. I am in favor of helping those who need it, and doing whatever I can to make their worlds better. I am in favor of spending some time just relaxing and keeping myself sane. Everybody should be able to be lazy once in a while. I am in favor of making time for my friends and my family, no matter how busy my schedule may get. I am in favor of a world where everyone can get along peacefully, no matter their ethnicity or religion. I am in favor of speaking my mind, thought I will be the first to admit I can’t always work up the courage to do it. I am in favor of family meals whenever possible, and embracing my childhood for as long as I can. I am in favor of less homework, so maybe I can sleep for more than three hours a night. As if that will ever happen. I am in favor of books being cheaper, so I can have an even more extensive collection.
I do not care for early mornings at all, humans need sleep. I do not care for writing in books, I don't care for folding book pages, and broken spines. Some people think it makes the book look more loved, and I understand that, but I want my books to last for as long as possible. They can look loved in twenty years. I do not care for parents who put an excessive amount of pressure on their children to be perfect; it only makes life more stressful. I do not care for hot and humid weather. I do not care for those who try to force their opinions on others, or who are not open to other people's thoughts. I do not care for people who never try, or who give up when life gets hard. I do not care for people who think they are better than others. Nobody is better than me. I do not care for people telling me what is appropriate for someone my age, or grouping me into a specific stereotype before they actually know me, and this is where I stand.
